`On April 10 the Azerbaijani army with 20 armored cars attacked
Maragha village, Martuni region of NKR, and shelled the village,
setting everything to fire, and genocide was perpetrated there,' Edik
Minasyan, the head of the Department of History of Yerevan State
University, told reporters today. On that day the Azerbaijani army
killed 57 and captured 53 peaceful people. Violence continued on 10
May 1992 and 13 peaceful people were captured. There are videos,
records of the tragedy. The deputy speaker of the British parliament
Caroline Cox participated in the collection of records. Edik Minasyan
noted that people were dismembered before or after their death. `In
2002 the NKR council came back to those events and adopted a special
resolution to condemn and hold responsible the Azerbaijani vandals for
their offense. It appealed to the international organizations to
recognize it as genocide because it is the continuation of the
anti-Armenian policy adopted by the Azerbaijani side,' Edik Minasyan
said. Taron Simonyan, expert on international law, there are
difficulties with applying to international court because Azerbaijan
has not ratified some conventions yet or ratified but not fully. `A
complex approach is required,' said the expert meaning the UN
Convention on Genocide.
